URBAN PILGRIMS COPENHAGEN & CHRISTIANIA
Website, Survey, Performances 2007/2008
urbanpilgrims.org/copenhagen
German-canadian artist Angela Dorrer has been living in Copenhagen for the last months trying to figure out what the capital of the Danes and the people who live there are all about. The conclusion is being presented to those with the nerves to show up for a very extraordinary bicycle ride through the city – because of big request: the 2nd pilgrimage for Copenhagen!
The Urban Pilgrimage in Copenhagen will be by bike. Starting off on Nørrebro the route will lead people to events at Jagtvej 69 and later on at Dronning Louises bro – the bridge separating the posh inner city from unruly Nørrebro. The route from there on will be decided by the votes of the people – left or right; but no matter what everybody will end up at the queen’s castle Amalienborg where a Danish paradox will be tried to be solved. In Christiania you will find about about the fortune of Copenhagen and Christiania. These are just some of the experiences to be expected on the pilgrimage which will find its conclusion at a very special place discovered by artist Angela Dorrer. But entrance is only allowed for those who can keep the secret to themselves.
If you could be the good fairy and had a wish free for Copenhagen or Christiania what would you wish? If Copenhagen or Christiania was a person, what kind of person would it be? Give us your opinion on urbanpilgrims.org and read the archives.
Urban Pilgrimages are poetic urban extracts. They dig their way into the grain of cities to find out what places and its people are really about. Participants get involved in individually tailored, dramatized performances about their city, based on an online survey, a blog and continuously growing internet archives.
Urban Pilgrimages can take on various forms, such as behavioral instructions or procession-like journeys with collective movement, gesture, sound, props, food, music and personal encounters. The personalities and communities within the given place with their stories and emotions become the artistic material. Individual experience becomes a public field, which generates a new cartography of a place - the essential toolkit for the 21st century voyager.
